"Afghanistan? Why did a playboy like him go to Afghanistan?" Kai didn't react for a while. A rich playboy like Stark ran to Afghanistan after eating enough.
"It's not important! What's important is that Tony has been missing for half a month!" How could Pepper have the heart to explain to Kay why Tony went to Afghanistan? What she is most worried about now is Tony's safety. As for other things, they are not important.
!
But fortunately, Kai soon understood. The damn Stark Industries Group is one of the largest arms suppliers to the US military! Thinking about it this way, there seems to be nothing unacceptable for Stark to go to Afghanistan.
Just like in the previous life, the Afghan War in this world started, and even the process was almost exactly the same. The 2001 Afghan War was a war led by the United States-led coalition against Al Qaeda and the Taliban starting on October 7, 2001. The war was
The United States' retaliation for the September 11th incident also marked the beginning of the war on terrorism. Coalition officials stated that the purpose of this war was to arrest Ben ** and other al-Qaeda members and punish the Taliban for supporting terrorists.
Since then, the United States has been stuck in the quagmire of Afghanistan. Not to mention that the Taliban has not been eliminated, U.S. military casualties have remained high.
By this year, under the background of the financial crisis in the United States and the Democratic Party coming to power, the development trajectory of the war in Afghanistan is destined to change. Shortly after taking office as the President of the United States at the beginning of this year, President Benjamin announced that he would comprehensively assess the situation in Afghanistan to formulate policies for the entire Afghanistan and
A new strategy for surrounding areas. Subsequently, Benjamin announced twice more troops to Afghanistan in March and September, designated Afghanistan as the main "anti-terrorism" battlefield, and clearly proposed a gradual withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan starting in July 2011.
As we all know, Benjamin is an anti-war president. His two troop increases are the last chance for domestic hawks. No matter what the future war situation is, he will start to consider a dignified exit from Afghanistan in July next year.
After all, the benefits achieved by occupying Afghanistan are far less generous than expected when the war was launched. Instead, because it was trapped in the quagmire of the war, the US military's military expenditures continued to rise again and again.
In addition to allowing those stakeholders linked to the military to make a lot of money, other groups have not benefited much. So starting this year, President Benjamin’s proposal to reduce military spending was approved by Congress. The president is more inclined to
Use diplomatic means to solve the Afghan problem.
This is good news for many people. But not for Stark Group.
That means fewer orders, which means stocks plummet.
This is why Tony Stark went to Afghanistan.
They must obtain more orders during the turning point of the war to stabilize the stock. At the same time, they must also carve up more shares in the shrinking arms market. After all, Stark, the president of the group, is always not doing his job properly, and now the company is having problems.
Now, he must come forward and go to Afghanistan in person to try to get orders from the military.
"What do you want me to do?" Kai asked very calmly.
Kay is a Los Angeles police officer, and his jurisdiction does not include Afghanistan.
"I don't trust those people!" Pepper finally told the truth.
The fact is indeed true. Tony Stark has been missing for a week before Pepper received the news. This is not normal at all. Tony Stark is not a kitten or puppy. He has been missing for so many days before the news comes.
Come on, this is not common sense at all. You can imagine how fishy this is! What's more, Tony Stark disappeared under the protection of the US military! This made Pepper even more distrustful of the US military in Afghanistan.
Pepper simply didn't know who to trust.
This is not unfounded by Pepper. After all, Tony Stark's itinerary was originally classified and few people had access to it. But when Tony Stark was kidnapped, the other party seemed well prepared and kidnapped him very accurately.
Tony, and killed twelve fully armed U.S. soldiers responsible for protecting Stark as quickly as possible! They were not given a chance to ask for help! If there was no conspiracy behind this, Pepper would not believe it.
Moreover, after Kai helped Tony pierce the window between them, Tony handed over all the company's affairs to Pepper, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many company elders. Pepper had just turned thirty years old,
But he has openly held the power of the president of Stark Group. It is impossible for a lot of old guys not to have some opinions in their hearts. So now Pepper doesn't even trust the people inside the group.
The only person Pepper can trust now is Kai.
"I hope you can save Tony."
The US military in Afghanistan has been working for a week and has not caught anything. Pepper feels that there is no hope.
Kai was a little hesitant. Although he didn't like watching superhero movies, he also knew that Tony Stark was a son of the plane and was not so easy to burp. And he still had a lot of things going on here, so it was difficult to leave. But then he thought about it.
When I thought about it, no, this is the real world. Who knows if it will be based on the movie? What if?
Although he and Tony didn't have a deep relationship, they couldn't be called friends. It was inappropriate, really inappropriate to watch them.
Pepper didn't say anything, waiting for Kai's response. She also knew that her request was a bit excessive. But now she had no one else to turn to.
"I'll leave tonight, please help me make arrangements."
Forget it, let's save him. It would be bad if Tony really burps.
In fact, Kai planned to bring Saji and the others, but when he thought about it, he couldn't. Saji and Rouqiu had already planned to get married, and they were still staying in Guardian Town to prepare for the wedding. Portman, before Kai came to Los Angeles,
, I have just been transferred to Chicago. Asking for help is like putting out a fire. Of course, the sooner the better. Now I don’t have time to wait for them to come, so I can only set off alone.
However, this also has the advantage that it is easy for one person to perform.
"I understand. In two hours, there will be a direct flight to Afghanistan." Pepper said excitedly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After hanging up the phone, Kai sighed and felt that he was really busy this day.
"Boss! There's something discovered here!"
Before Kai could figure out how to ask for leave, Chloe shouted over there.
I saw the witness took out a piece of women's underwear and walked over. It was said to be women's underwear, which was a bit inaccurate. A more accurate statement would be girl's underwear, with cartoon patterns on it.
"Girl's underwear appears in a single man's room?" Kai held the underwear in the evidence bag and felt sick in his heart. Damn it, he encountered a copper-smelting fetish again?
"There are still blood stains on it!" the forensic officer continued.
Kai raised his eyebrows!
"Chloe!"
"yes!"
"A mission for you. Find this Italian man and that girl!"
"clear!"
Chloe replied very excitedly.
Just as he was about to express his determination, he saw Kai turning around and leaving.
"Boss, where are you going?"
"Ask for leave!"
"Asking for leave again?" Kaike had just canceled his leave.
…
Dustin quickly approved the vacation. It wasn't that Kai leaked the news about Stark's kidnapping. In fact, Dustin thought it would be better for Kai to avoid it. The DEA had strong opinions, although Dustin
Don't be afraid, but it's troublesome. As for Kai's request for leave... it's none of his business. He's just a little police chief and has nothing to do with it.
Just when Kai boarded the plane to Afghanistan, Stark also started a plan to save himself.
About half a month ago, the convoy escorting him was attacked. He was injured and fell into a coma. After losing consciousness for a period of time, he entered a semi-conscious and semi-awake state. The huge pain like a nightmare has been haunting him.
When he wanted to sleep quietly, many bearded people kept wandering in front of him and yelled something around him, which made him upset. He couldn't distinguish the meaning of these shouts, everything was like
It happened in a dream, and he forgot most of the scenes after seeing them.
Until a certain moment, he finally came out of the coma completely.
After waking up, he finally confirmed that he had been kidnapped and thrown into a dark cave. But the good news was that he was not alone in his misfortune. He also had a fellow prisoner with him. Soon he
I found out that this bald middle-aged man’s name was Ethan. He was a scientist and a doctor. The two of them had the same problem. They were both unlucky guys kidnapped by the Kongbu elements outside the cave. However, Ethan, the doctor, was at least in good health.
Tony, the young man, was horrified to find that there was a pit in his chest.
This is nothing, Tony can understand this situation, after all, he remembers the explosion before he fell into coma.
But what he couldn't understand was why Mao would have such a big magnet connected to his chest??? The worst thing about electromagnets was that the electromagnets had to be powered by a bulky battery.
"Don't dislike it. Without this electromagnet to absorb the remaining rocket shrapnel in the wound on his chest, they may flow into the heart along the bloodstream at any time and kill you."
This is how Dr. Ethan comforted Tony. It was Ethan who helped Tony operate, remove the shrapnel, and install the electromagnet. Therefore, Ethan was the eldest son’s savior.
Then, Tony experienced a special experience that he had never experienced in his life.
He was tortured and threatened.
These terrorists actually asked him to make Jericho missiles. Well, by the way, Tony came here this time just to promote this kind of missile with huge power and huge range of action. Faced with this kind of torture, Tony agreed very happily.
He has never suffered this kind of crime since he was a child.
Faced with this request from the gangster leader, the young master felt extremely complicated. The military was actually not as discerning as the terrorists. It was only an order worth hundreds of millions, and he, the president of the group, needed to personally promote it... Others could find it themselves.
Come to visit. If the military had been more straightforward, maybe he wouldn't be so unlucky. Now, it's okay. He, a super rich man, actually wants to work for terrorists. It's embarrassing to tell anyone.
But the gangster is also very persistent. He doesn't want money or fame, he just wants the third-rate missile he just developed. What shocked Tony even more was that after he agreed to cooperate, he was taken out of the cave for the first time and saw these gangsters.
There were Stark Industries trademarks on his hands, on his car, and on the weapons stacked together. He couldn't believe where these terrorists got these things from. He couldn't remember any terrorists in his company's customer list.
molecular!
Of course, arms dealers can sell arms to anyone, but when it comes to arms dealers of his level, it's not possible. What they want to talk about is not just profit, but also their stance!
But Ethan was unlucky enough to be caught for a long time, so he knew a little bit about the inside story.
I learned from Ethan that this group of people has always had channels to purchase weapons and equipment from the Stark Group, and the quantities were quite large. They even engaged in the business of second-hand dealers, distributing the weapons purchased from the Stark Group to other parties.
Terrorist groups and organizations.
Tony looked puzzled. How could he not know that he had such a distributor?
But he had no reason to believe it. He had previously owned many powerful anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, and the production batch numbers showed that they were new goods in recent months.
It's very strange that weapons of this quantity and power should appear in the hands of empty elements. What's more terrible is that, as the president of Stark Group, Tony is completely unaware of this. This is definitely his control over Stark Group.
Something went wrong.
Tony was not stupid and quickly thought of the attack he had received.
Moreover, the gangsters even prepared raw materials in order for him to make Jericho missiles, indicating that this kidnapping must have been planned in advance and was not a temporary act.
There is a mole!!!
Someone betrayed him!
Tony's heart felt heavier now. The terrorists had promised him that as long as he cooperated and made Jericho missiles for them, they would let him go. Tony thought he was farting, but now it seemed that not only was he hopeless for freedom, but even the little boy
Life is not saved.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As long as the terrorists are not stupid, they will know that if Tony is allowed to go back alive, these terrorists will definitely be hated by him for the rest of their lives. They will be hated by a top arms dealer in the world.
A lifetime is not a good thing. What's more, the mastermind behind this incident is even more unlikely to let him go back, otherwise the betrayer himself will be in bad luck.
So he must save himself!
Here we have to admire Tony's brain. It only took him about six hours to come up with a rough plan to save himself.
First of all, he had to deal with the big hole in his chest and the magnet. He couldn't hold a battery every day! Secondly, it was inconvenient, and most importantly, it was so stupid! Tony was unwilling to look like an idiot.
So he tricked the terrorists into giving him some materials to build a portable magnet...
A few days ago, Tony finally made what he wanted.
Tony took the tweezers and carefully picked up an object like a small wire ring, put it into a small disk, and then breathed a sigh of relief. After connecting some more lines, a cylindrical object emitting light blue light appeared.
object.
"So you spent so many days just to build a battery for yourself?" But when Ethan saw that thing, he couldn't be more surprised.
"Of course it's not that simple! This is a micro arc oscillation reactor. I have a larger one at home that supplies power to my factory. Adding electromagnets to it can prevent shrapnel from entering my heart.
.It can get me out of that stupid battery! Of course this is just a side function, its real function is..."
Ethan's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened.
"You are such a genius!"
Then in the days that followed, Tony went to those terrorists, asked for a bunch of scrap metal and parts, and started working honestly as a blacksmith with a promising career.
